perf core: Generalize max_stack sysctl handler
So that it can be used for other stack related knobs, such as the upcoming one to tweak the max number of of contexts per stack sample. In all those cases we can only change the value if there are no perf sessions collecting stacks, so they need to grab that mutex, etc. Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-8t3fk94wuzp8m2z1n4gc0s17@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
